I had a cabg (triple) almost 6 years ago. Was T2 diabetic at the time, taking max dosage of Metformin and 130 units/day insulin. Went LCHF about 4 months after, when I couldn’t reconcile the ADA recommendations for eating with the AHA ones! Plus even the ADA eating plan was terrible for diabetes. Within a few weeks, had to completely stop all diabetes meds to avoid low blood sugar.

Lost a bunch of weight, but eventually stalled out, and realized blood sugar measurements & a1c were no longer telling me anything helpful. So I figured I must still have high insulin levels. Got fasting insulin check in mid 2016, found out I did, and went Keto. Threw in some intermittent fasting & 16/8 eating pattern to try to reduce insulin and heal wonky metabolism. Last a1c was 5.0, and I’m still alive with no obvious heart symptoms. So far, I’d say that’s a superior outcome!

My 3x cabg is 4 yrs back at age 46. Stop smoking after the operation. Went into lchf last May, lost about 7kg…now at 71kg…lots of exercise( min 5 time a week of running) recent blood test show a big increase of HDL from 40 plus to 80 mg/dl…but still many ppl say I have look somewhat shaggy probably due to the weight lost n lack if certain mineral or nutrition…but overall I feel good
